Andrew stormed out of the prison, determined to catch up to Alex and Lucas. He spotted them across the parking lot, getting into a sleek black car."Wait!" Andrew shouted, running towards them. "You're not going anywhere until I get some answers!"Lucas turned a smirk on his face. "And what answers might those be, Andrew?""Who sent him to poison me?" Andrew demanded, his eyes locked on Alex.Alex sneered. "You'll never know."Andrew's anger boiled over. "I'll find out, even if I have to take you down myself."Lucas stepped forward, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I don't think so, Andrew. You see, Alex here has immunity. He's not going to tell you anything."Andrew's eyes narrowed. "Immunity? What are you talking about?"Lucas smiled. "Let's just say Alex has friends in high places. He's not going to betray them, no matter what you do."Andrew's boldness grew. "I'll find out who those friends are, and I'll take them down too."The standoff continued, with neither side willing to b
Mason was walking back and forth outside of the police station; Alex had been released from prison by that good-for-nothing man, Lucas, and Mason did not feel comfortable at all.Mason’s dad, Mr. Andrew, stood close to him; the man watched Mason fidget nervously. ‘’Mason, what seems to be the problem?” he asked, his tone soft and comforting.Mason was scared and at the same time angry He stopped pacing there and then and stared directly at his father. ‘Hey did you see that guy who bailed Alex out,’ he wondered.Mr. Andrew frowned. ‘’Do you mean Lucas? Yes, I saw him. Why?’’Mason's breath quickened. ”Lucas … I know him. He was the one who tried to kill me. He strangled me once. I never told you because I didn’t feel safe but now he’s back, and he’s helping Alex Then.Mr. Andrew's face paled. ‘But who is this man that you would talk to him this way?’, ‘Are you sure it is the same person?’Mason nodded vigorously. “I’m sure,” replied Mason confidently, his eyes never leaving the door th
Lucas just made a fairly acute turn and he managed to avoid the truck. “Don’t worry! I have it under control,” I blurted something out, more to make it look like I was in charge by stomping on the accelerator.”Handling it?” Alex’s voice cracked. “I can tell you, we are seething just a few inches away from a catastrophe.”Oh, we are almost there! Believe me!’ Lucas said with increasing excitement.Alex nodded his head from left to right, his mouth was open, and his eyes bulged with fear. ”Can I trust you? Have you lost your mind? There is no way I am dying today.”“We have no choice,” Lucas said, breathing heavily but his words firmly stated. ’Don’t look up!” or better yet, ‘Just keep your head down!’Thus, Alex’s fear grew to its highest level when Lucas sharply turned the wheel to ram a passerby. ‘‘Are you crazy or what, Lucas? We are going to get ourselves both killed!’’ I couldn’t believe we were embarking on such a dangerous mission.Lucas tried to laugh and it came out, weak and
The officer made sure to comply to the words of Mason who instructed him to ensure that is father was safe. He instructed Andrew to hop into the car immediately Mason zoomed off. “Sir, I need to take you to your house. I'm sure you heard what your son asked me to do for you. He instructed that I… .”“That you what? I won't move an inch unless I get to see my son come back to me so spare me the words of concern.” He cut him short,scoffed at him and threw his face to the other side. “Sir Andrew, I don't want to be rude to you and at the same time I don't want to disappoint the words of your son. He instructed that I drive you home. Please, Sir Andrew allow me to do exactly what your son asked me to do.” “Officer Ben, kindly return back to your duty post. I'm safe right here and if I don't see my son by dawn I'll drive back home myself.” he responded to the officer politely by not trying to sound domineering. The officer nodded his head and walked to the front trying to return back t
Mason felt irritated by the boldness of Alex and how he moved his mouth demeaning his father. He was ready to go in all for Alex but at the same time, he was trying to be considerate not to hurt him because he has a family.“You son of a bitch you better watch your mouth on how you speak about my father to my ears. In case your greediness has made you forget some things, I am telling you that my father was one of the people who helped your life. Without my father…”“Enough! Mason, you have zero idea about who your father is so don’t try to meddle in affairs of aged people. You are still a small boy so let your focus be on that.” he hissed at him angrily with his eyes giving him a thousand words.“Alex, you are a fool. You are one of those people that don’t care about the effort your friends or close pals put into your life to make you stand out. I wish my father never got the chance to help you at all.” Mason spoke out his mind with his hands shivering at the tightness of which he hel
Mason rotated his neck to face, Alex, the moment his voice echoed through the phone to interrupt his conversation with Precious. His hatred doubled down the moment he realized all that Alex did to him by speaking up on the phone at a crucial moment like this. He dropped the phone from his ears and tightened his hands in anger.“Mason, who is right there with you? Who are you having a conversation with? Can you hear me at all Mason?” Precious's voice kept on speaking volume as she didn’t get a response from him.Mason was silent with his eyes saying a million words as he gave Alex that fearless stare ready to go over him and run his hands all over his face.“Won’t you say anything, , Mason? Why are you cold all of a sudden?” She yelled at him while curiosity kept on eating her up to know what was going on over there.“Tell her the truth, Loser. Why are you quiet all of a sudden?” Alex spoke up with so much defiance in his voice.He took a deep pause before continuing with his words, “
At the police station, the day they kept passing by as everyone who had come earlier started dispersing themselves one after the other. The police station started feeling empty as some colleagues started relieving themselves of daily duties. While everything was going on at a fast speed, Andrew kept on checking his wrist with his phone close by to see if he might get a phone call from his son. He moved from one point to another waiting for his phone to beep in a call or a message from his son. He hissed heavily and hit his hands on his head constantly and repeatedly muttering soft words slowly. “Mason, where exactly are you? Why can't you just call me and give me an update on what's going on currently?” He felt restless moving from one place to another while still hoping and trusting his son to respond to him. “Don't you want to go home, Sir Andrew? I believe you can see the day is turning to dawn already and your son isn't back.” Officer Ben broke in his voice into the atmosphe
“Ouch! Why are you behaving like a lunatic? Your hands are so firm on my wrist. What is going on?” The nurse tapped on James hands consistently signalling him to remove his hands away from her. James eyes were teary with his weak knees on the ground “Lucas, I want you to look into my eyes and tell me of truly Mason is the one that did this to you.” He sniffed in his watery nose with his back hands cleaning off the tears dripping from his eyes. “Young man, you have to start going right away. Can't you see that the man you are trying to get a response from is still recuperating?” The nurse angrily shunned him up wrapping her hands around her chest. James ignored her constant rant and refrains. He held unto Lucas and spoke out, “Lucas, I know you are trying to get yourself together thereby making you weak to speak up but at the same time I want you to say a word of just make a nod.”Lucas look out him in pity and in weakness. He didn't say a word at all he just laid feeling weak and h
